Re: Muric
Just thought in an FA cup quarter final against one of the best club sides in the world we might have played our best goalie to give us half a chance.
To be fair though we could have had Nick Pope or Gordon Banks or both in goal, don't think it would have made any difference.

Re: Manchester Airport
Well, T1 was busy this morning but not chaotic and the queues were well managed.
Definitely worth the £5 for fast track through security as although moving the line was quite long.
Took about 45 mins to get airside overall so not too bad.

Just great that there's been a load of new chants/ songs this season in support of the team and individuals rather than just singing about Blackburn Rovers.
No idea who is coming up with them but keep up the good work, think the fans have definitely been the '12th man' this season

No doubt Muric's distribution is great and an integral part of how we build up our play from the back and all credit to him for that
He's not a bad shot stopper either but let's be honest, he's a little bit shite at commanding his area and taking crosses
